When The Riverside Weather Cools - And The Steps You Can Take To Insulate Your Windows Against It

This time of year, the weather cools down in Riverside. And when the first energy bill of the season arrives, you’ll be looking for ways to cut it down. Insulating your windows goes a long way toward saving energy in the season’s colder climate.

Explore these three ways to insulate your windows against the cooling temperatures in Riverside California.

Traditional Sealing Kits

Weatherproofing kits are a familiar sight in home improvement stores in the Riverside area. Store-bought sealing kits include instructions on where to stick the tape, the amount of film to cut, and the best way to shrink the film. This cuts down on heat loss and drafts.

Yet some homeowners shy away from this method if there are multiple windows to insulate. And insulating a window with shrink film means the window is closed until spring. If these are challenges for you, insulating window treatments, like Polywood® shutters and Solar Gard® window film, are a preferred choice.

Polywood Shutters

Crafted from synthetic wood, Polywood shutters are the most energy efficient window treatment you’ll find in the Riverside area. They shield against external conditions 70% better than a comparable wood shutter, and 1600% better than an aluminum blind. Polywood decreases airflow by up to 45% and reduces the effects of temperature by 30°.

The shutter frame, the louver material, and the weather stripping make Polywood shutters the preferred option for insulating your house.

Solar Gard Window Film

You can apply the premium window film, Solar Gard, to the window pane all year. It has no impact on your window’s look, unlike insulating kits. And the best part of Solar Gard is the ability to open the window at any time because the film is limited to the glass area, and not the frame.

Solar Gard is very convenient during Riverside’s colder months because it reduces heat transfer through the glass. Now the chill air doesn’t enter and the heat of the room stays...well...in the room.
